Yet another day of strong winds – Steve posted a notice on the  board, see picture below – but 10 brave souls up for some exciting sailing, took to the water, with several half rigged boats remaining on shore – some of them thought better of risking a ducking and possible gear breakage. But brave young Ryan in his reefed Topper took to the water only to return after 3 dry capsizes before the start – while his Dad managed to fall out of his boat near the end of the race and spent the rest of the race time ‘having fun!!’<\/strong><\/div>\n
Steve and his team set an interesting course 4p,1p,8p,3p,5s,9p,6s,7s,S, giving sailors a chance to go behind the island, for a bit of respite.<\/strong><\/div>\n
The safety boats were kept busy with Steve and Lynne in their 505 being the first to capsize and get stuck in the mud in full view of the spectators on the deck, and once righted they immediately came ashore – it was suggested by Kris that maybe it would have been better for them to have stayed on shore and have a couple of buckets of water poured over them!!<\/strong><\/div>\n
There were many …”oohs and aahs….did you see that…” from the deck accompanied by chuckles from Eddie, Ken, Oswin and John, sipping their coffees.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Adrian was the only one to go out with a full sail and most had at least one ‘swim.’ <\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong> <\/div>\n
Ian led most of the race only to capsize on the last lap letting Chris through, who also capsized at the penultimate gybe mark – in full view of those on the deck enjoying the entertainment. But he managed to finish first, with big Adrian 2nd and Dave P 3rd. they were the only finishes, out of the 10 that started!!! What a day!!<\/strong><\/div>\n
